and is lined by an epithelial membrane. This coelomic cavity represents a fluid-filled space that lies between the visceral organs and the body wall.

How is a coelom formed?

Protostomes form a coelom by the use of a 'blind pouch' that appears when the organism's digestive tract is beginning to develop. It occurs when the mesoderm, or middle layer of the three basic layers of tissue, begins to split, which develops into the coelom.

Is the human body a Coelomate?

Humans are Coelomates, they possess a true coelom. Humans possess a coelom that segregates into various unconnected cavities of the body while developing. It is a cavity not found in the human adult, but in the embryonic phases which splits into other cavities.
